MATTERS ABOUT TOWN.

CAPT. JULIUS ARMSTRONG, of Arm
5trong's Mills, was in town Tuesday
During the war Julius was attached to
the 52d Ohio Infantry, and in converse
tion Tuesday recalled the events of Ju-
ly 10, 1864, at Peach Tree Creek, in
front of Atlanta. Crawling along tree
over that deep but narrow stream in
single iie, and feeling that Hoods army
was near its further bank. he confesses
that he felt he was a coward, and Is
still of opinion that he walked about
| ;Wo yards on the water after getting
iuto the swamps beyond the creek. The
battle of Peach Tree Greek folio wed.
Capt. Armstrong AYERS that the Army
of the Cumberland could easily have
marched into Atlanta on the 2lst, and
he can not comprehend why it was not
allowed to do it.
A REFRESHING rain fell Monday eve>
ming, cooling the torrid atmosphere and
enlivening men and vegetation alike.
For several days the temperature hug+
ged 1909 in the shade, reaching on Sat-
urday and Monday IO2 to 1O4, and. to-
gether with hot nights, all animate life
suffered very greatly. For nearly one
hour before the storm burst upon US the
northern skies were sublime in their
beauty, calling into the streets to view
them almost the entire population of
the town. Back of them, in the north
west, the angry storm clouds we're bank
ed up, across which the lightning played
at intervals. 1t was, by great odds, the
finest picture ever witnessed in these
parts, and hundreds of people fingered
in the streets and watched its disappear
ance rsgretfully.
SPEAK good word for your town land
encourage all persons who are disposed
to improve it in any way, whenever the
opportunity offers. Town and cities are
built in that way, not by deriding the
town and its people, and sDeering at
and finding fault with persons who are
disposed to better its condition. No
matter what his motive, nor how he does
it, the man who puts himself in the way
of the improvement of his town is not
a good citizen, especially if he is con-
trolled by petty jealousy or spite.

weapons should be more vigorously ell
forced, and measures should be adopted
TO throw severe restrictions upon the
sale of revolvers. Few people realize
how many men parade the streets of oul
towns with pistols in their pockets, and
the danger of serious results should they
heeoma engaged in altarcationS with
their fellow-man. If the man who did
the shooting on Tuesday had not been
armed no serious results would have
followed, but having the deadly pisto
convenient it was used and if he escape:
the penitentiary he will be lucky. Away
with the pistolsl No necessity for car
rying them on our streets. and the mar
who does may become murderer.
